the thought crossed my mind that they could be taking advantage of the delayed flip to bide time for something, but what would that "something" be?

If you found it fishy and it struck you as odd, why didn't you say something before?

If you're knew and literally have no idea what's going as you keep implying, you should considered Jailer picking Charu with equal importance as Jailer picking me, you, Xel, ToonE, Raeko, literally anyone else. It should all seem as normal as the next since you don't have a baseline for normal and no one in thread has explained to you why it would appeal weird

Ok I swear aim not stupid

If you're *new* and.....
Not knew

by the time I had read through everything, you had already expressed doubt several times, so I figured I shouldn't bother mentioning something if it wasn't new
mindlessly agreeing to people seems like a great way to cast suspicion on yourself

[MixMasterLar]

Typos aside, I asked you a question earlier

it's not that I absolutely have no idea what is going on; I just don't have enough experience to comfortably draw any important conclusions based on the information I have (other than something like, "hm, that seems interesting")
I feel like I've been missing a lot, especially in this game because of how complicated it is, but a claim like charu's is difficult to miss

sorry! I saw that first and wanted to comment on it

this is what happens when you read the thread in reverse-chronological order like a dummy

If town, staying quiet is not helpful. You will not several times this game where people have simply agreed with others; they do so because it shows you also see what they see.

Obviously if someone is blindly just agreeing and following someone else with no effort to expand or add their own thoughts in addition to agreement that's an issue, but between the two extremes town should always pick the one that expresses the most of what they feel. The bottom line is that you didn't comment one way or another on how you felt about Charu's claim at the time, so anything you say afterwards isn't going to sound as authentic as it would have had otherwise.

Also, Town doesn't need worry about if what they react to looks wolfy: that's literally only something scum worries about. Town just needs to focus on solving the game

All that explained....

oh, oops..
I worry about that kind of a lot

I mean if you rolled wolf that would make sense

But if you didn't, why dont you post a reads list? It's where you name everyone in the game and tell us a couple of lines worth of thought and if you think they are town or scum with the current info you know. It would be a great way to say your thoughts that you maybe didn't say at an earlier point on time and let your fellow town teammates be able to use your thoughts to help with the solve

you're not interested in killing me off? that's relieving, I guess

Take subject to be outdated pending on your reads list

[Arp!]

okay I know what substitution ciphers are but I have no clue what that means lmao

[MixMasterLar]

I'm saying I can change my mind on killing you if your readlist sucks

[Arp!]

oh, that wasn't a trick; my brain just interpreted the sentence structure weirdly

[Arp!]

so, uh, either lar and xel (geny?) are partners in crime, or this is some elaborate plan to fool anyone with a basic knowledge of cryptography

both seem equally likely, but I think I'm dead tonight either way
